The one who referenced /usr/doc was probably thinking of the SGML
sources.  That's where the canonical place for them is (although they
build anywhere you check them out).  The /usr/share/doc path is OK, in
my opinion, since /usr/share has lots of useful stuff like examples/,
and misc/ which the users would find ``nice to be easy to find in a
common, shared place.''  Nothing wrong with keeping the tradition :)
